AN EXPLANATION OF A COMPLEX PROPOSITION. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL of doubt expressed over the state over the true status of the planks in both the democratic and republican state platforms relative to the liquor question. It will be so vital in the campaign that it ought to be thoroughly understood. There are few voters who do understand the complex situation. The "dry" and "wet" propositions have in manycases been misunderstood and the saloon has had to bear the brunt of the misunderstanding. In an editorial entitled "Fairness Towards Saloons," an Indianapolis newspaper says: It does not look right to some persons that if a county should go "wet" the "dry" townships would not be affected, whereas if it goes "dry" the "wet" townships are made "dry." It has the appearance of a jug-handled, heads-I-win-tails-you-lose arrangement which smacks of partiality. We believe that this impression of unfairness grows out of a misconception of what is actually done in these two transactions and that a closer examination will show the arrangements to be fair. In the first the law does not put any saloon out of business or make any

district "dry" any more than it sets up a saloon anywhere or compels any district to have saloon if it does not want them. The exclusion of one or more saloons from a district is accomplished by the people themselves,

through a remonstrance in townships counties. The law does not prohibit drinking. It merely puts the means the people's disposalIn the second place, there is a

effect of a county's going "dry" and the force and effect of a county's going "wet." If it goes "dry" it says the saloons must go; but if it goes "wet" !it

does not say the saloons must come. counties as so desire to vote against any

and every county may so vote and it may not. And if it does not vote at all or votes "wet" the situation is precisely where it was before. A "dry" vote puts the saloons out; a "wet" vote does not put them in. The confusion seems to arise out of the fallacious notion that if a county doesn't vote at all, and especially if it votes but declines to adopt "no license" for every township, therefore it must necessarily vote saloons into every township whether its inhabitants want them or not. This is not the real situation. The real situation is that the county has this opportunity, this device for, exclusion of saloons, lying dormant at its disposal continually. The county may use it or it may not. If it does not. either passively or else

positively through a negative vote, the license as a complete county system. overturn and reverse the previously in wards or townships that do not want THIS DATE IX HISTORY.

Tall is. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyriaht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. THE FALL OF MR. ZIEGLER. Herman Ziegler of New York city celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday one day recently by exercising his wife. He chased her, as was his frequent want, with the butcher knife. Albeit Mrs. Zlegler seems to have entered into the spirit of the festivities, she dutifully capered around the table and over the chairs to make a holiday for Mr. Ziegler until she grew weary of the play. Then she escaped and ran to the neighbors. The man of the house rested from his labors on the back porch, reciting the story of the domestic circus he had made and loudly telling what the programme would be when Mrs. Ziegler returned. In the phraseology of the street, that was where Mr. Ziegler lost out. Mrs. Ziegler returned. She brought with her twelve other women. Note the fatal number thirteen. These merry wives seized Mr. Ziegler even while he gloated. They bound him to a chair and joined hands In a circle about him. The circus programme was to go on, but with a changed bill. While the twelve mnde a joyful noise, as became the festal day, Mrs. Ziegler larruped Mr. Ziegler with a section of the garden hose until he, too, joined In the glad acclaim, though discordantly. Then the sisters of the mystic circle helped Mr. Ziegler to his painful bed. Various ethical teachings might be drawn from this veracious story of the fall of Mr. Ziegler. For Instance: Every man should learn the lesson that the race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong; also that pride goeth before a fall. Every man must be shaped by untoward events into something decent. It is the misfortune of Ziegler that he did not learn this until he was thirtyfive. He had a bad fall coming to him. It was long overdue. So Mr. Ziegler had to learn through experience and a sound beating that wife chasing, pursued either as a wonted business or as a pure recreation, is detrimental to the chaser as well as the chased. Mr. Ziegler did not learn this lesson in his puppy age, the roper age for bumping wisdom in and beating fallacies out, but it may be saidWhile it Is sometimes difficult to teaeh an old dog tricks, it may be done. RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS Teach the boy and the girl to swim. It may save their lives some day and they then may be able to save the lives of others. Tact is smiling when something nice in said about your rival. It is diplomacy when you can convince people that it is the truth. The Miller milk dealer who saved the life of a baby is evidently trying to help the farmers who have been watering their milk make up for their amissness. Everybody Encourages the fads Of the man who is willing To upend money ' On them. A Tale of Two Talkers. Crown Point has a citizens named Ed, who has nothing to do and no money. He is a great talker, and yesterday a book agent attacked him. Ed argued the question, and finally tli 3 book agent tried to get away, but Ed pulled him back. It is said to be a fact that Ed kept the book agent two hours.. After all we can't see why a lawyer expects a juror to learn In a day what It took him a lifetime to learn. You will be sure to pick a winner this year If you call him William, and one or the other ought to give you a present. Some men will be bosses of everythingeven their own consciences. Summer is on the wane and we live in fear and trembling for fear that some chump will start the "Do your Christmas shopping early" yawp. It is almost impossible to stand on some men's feet in a street car they 'keep pulling them out of the way. So far Mr. Kern has said nothing against the negroes. Perhaps he has forgotten 1904.
